Question

a certain amount of money is divided among Rio, Kim and Leo in the ratio 5:7:3.if Leo gets PHP 24,000.00,how much is the total amount?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Instead of using the word “ratio,” let’s think of it as “parts.” Rio receives 5 parts of the money, Kim 7, and Leo 3.

Since Leo receives 3 parts and that amount is given as 24,000, we should simply and reduce it to 1 part.

3 parts = 24,000.

Divide by 3:

3/3 =24,000.00/3= 8,000.00

So one “part” is 8,000 dollars.

And since we know that Rio received 5, Kim 7, and Leo 3, all of those parts together is 5+7+3=15 “parts”

From here, the rest is easy.
